Check out the unreleased photos from 24's blog of "LOST Surfboard"!
The rider of this Lost Mayhem is former World Tour surfer CJ Hobgood. This year he became coach for Carisser Moore. It's becoming popular for former pro surfers to become coaches. Japanese pro surfers are also looking into this as a post-retirement career. This is Taj Burrow, the development rider for the LOST "BABY BUGGY" model. He's based in the Margaret River area of Australia, where the WSL was held recently. These are custom-made "SON OF COBRA" boards. The model is the "RNF-REDUX" model, which is currently a huge hit among LOST riders. The "RNF-REDUX" CARBON WRAP is popular, but not only the CW but also the POLY version is also popular. Clear PU stock boards will also be arriving at Luvsurf soon! If you're interested, please contact us! This is Nate Illemans. As I mentioned the other day, he is currently in charge of sales for LOST surfboards. Of course, as a professional surfer, he also participates in contests when he has the time. The reason LOST surfboards is a core brand is because of the amazing people who work there. The board he rides is the V3-STEALTH . The surfer riding this Lost Mayhem is Josh Kerr, a current WSL tour surfer. He recently lost his surfboard sponsor and chose to ride the Lost Mayhem himself. Please support him! This is a "SON OF COBRA" board. The model is the new 2017 model "V3-STEALTH ." The "SON OF COBRA" specification with "R-4CHANNEL" is really cool. You can clearly see the "R-4CHANNEL" designed into the concave in this photo. This is Mason Ho on the VOODOO CHILD . Don't you think this photo was taken at a great time? Mason is also using FCSII's MAYHEM fins. They're size M! This is Mason Ho. He still loves surfing in dangerous places. The board he is riding is of course ``VOODOO CHILD'' ! This is Noah Beschen, whose sponsor changed from Hurley to RVCA this year. The board he's riding is a SUB-DRIVER CARBON WRAP. I've heard he's planning to come to Japan for the Shonan Open, the WQS, which will be held in Japan, so I'm looking forward to seeing him surf in Japan. In his second WSL event the other day, Kolohe Andino showed off his improved surfing from last year, advancing to the final and placing second. After his second event, he is currently ranked third in the world. This year, we hope to see him win his first WSL title, riding the same LOST MAYHEM board as us.

Mr. A, He chose PLACEBO's CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST.

Mr. B, He chose PLACEBO's CONQUEST EL-DIABLO FLEXLITE-BOOST. He came to Love Surf after being recommended by a senior surfer he regularly surfs with. We recommended several suitable boards, including used ones, within his budget, but he chose this board, which was on sale at a good price. He chose it because, in addition to considering resale value, he prioritized a design that seemed easy to ride. Mr. C said, You chose PLACEBO "SHORT ROUND" FLEXLITE-BOOST. He prefers shorter boards, so he came to our store and saw the actual design of the "SHORT ROUND" and fell in love with it. This model is popular, so there are only a few left, and some sizes are sold out, so please consider purchasing one soon. Mr. D, You chose PLACEBO "GOBLIN" FLEXLITE-BOOST. About six months ago, he chose this same model, the 5'10" Goblin, to get back into surfing, and in no time at all, he regained his rhythm and decided to downsize to a more appropriate 5'6". He hadn't surfed in many years, but he was so pleased that he was able to get back into surfing so quickly because the board he chose to get back into surfing was a good choice! Everyone!

Yesterday, at the 3rd floor of the Grand Mall at AEON MALL Makuhari New City in Chiba Prefecture, We held the "LOST&PLACEBO Exhibition and Sale." New models of PLACEBO surfboards and LOST surfboards are on display. This event will be packed with special offers and will also allow for immediate sales. It had been raining yesterday, so the shopping mall was packed from the morning! The waves weren't great either, so there were some dad surfers who were spending time with their families. I passed by without knowing about this event and saw a lot of new models lined up. There were a lot of people who were surprised. Today, until 6pm, AEON MALL Makuhari New City Grand Mall 3F In front of the Murasaki Sports Riders Fact store, We are holding this event, so please stop by on your way back from the beach!
Learn moreThank you to everyone who came to our store and purchased many of our new ``PLACEBO'' limited edition FLEXLITE-LIMITED models!
Mr. A, You have chosen the PLACEBO " GOBLIN " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. He had been enjoying his CONQUEST EL-DIABLO and was looking for a new board when the limited edition LIMITED model was announced. The GOBLIN was one of his options, so he made an immediate decision to get it before it sold out. Mr. B, You have chosen the PLACEBO " GOBLIN " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. This customer is switching from the same model with the "FLEXLITE-BOOST" spec, which he immediately purchased when it was released in March of last year. Apparently, his friend bought the "GOBLIN" with the "FLEXLITE-BOOST" spec, which he had been riding well, for a high price, and he said, "As you'd expect, PLACEBO has a high resale value, and that's even more so for a Goblin." He added that this "LIMITED" spec is also a limited edition, so he can rest assured that the value won't drop when he sells it. That's certainly true! Mr. C said, You have chosen PLACEBO " EL-DIABLO PLUS " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. The customer had been driving the previous model, the CONQUEST EL-DIABLO. When the new model was announced, he came to the store, eager to buy one as it was a limited edition. Initially, it was limited to 100 units, but due to the time and effort required, this model was limited to 50 units, making it even more rare and valuable, and the customer was pleased, saying that it was worth owning. Mr. D, You have chosen PLACEBO " EL-DIABLO PLUS " FLEXLITE-LIMITED. Until now, customers have been ordering custom XTR or HYDRO FLEX bikes and painting them with resin paint or airbrush to prevent discoloration and ensure that each bike can be ridden for as long as possible, with discoloration-resistant specifications. However, this customer came to our store to consult with us, and we recommended this luxurious silver metallic finish, which he liked so much that he decided to ride it. Mr. E, This is Hiroki Shirakawa, a team rider for PLACEBO JAPAN. I wanted these two boards this year, so I came to pick them up right away. The 5'4" GOBLIN and the 5'10" EL-DIABLO PLUS . Of course, as you can see, the specifications are the limited edition "LIMITED" specifications. The visual on the bottom side is also cool! It has been released for the first time in a while by PLACEBO. The limited edition "FLEXLITE-LIMITED" There are two models, " GOBLIN " is There are four sizes, 25 of each size, for a total of 100 limited editions! " EL-DIABLO PLUS" is Limited production of 50 units in total: 10 at 5'8", 15 at 5'10", 6'0", and 10 at 6'2"! With Golden Week and the summer season just around the corner, it's expected that they'll sell out quickly if you don't buy them quickly. Hurry and buy while the right size is still available! PLACEBO's limited edition models have the best resale value when you decide to sell them! Please hurry and purchase from here!
Learn moreLOST surfboard test ride report! The Japan-exclusive model was a big hit!
Yesterday, Sunday, at the Kanpo P in front of Chiba Kita, With the cooperation of LOST surfboard dealer "KI Surf", We held a LOST surfboard test ride event, so please take a look at the report. The waves were waist-high, so it was all about floating! Moving! Running! Many people wanted to test drive the model, and the LOST "SUPER DIABLO" had a high turnover rate. As expected, not only the ``DOS-DIABLO'' but also the ``SUPER DIABLO'' , a model sold exclusively in Japan, are so thick that even people who have never ridden a thick board before can still move around! He was amazed at how fast the paddle was and how dolphin-like he could be! Test rides of the "CARBON WRAP" were also popular. We received many positive comments, such as, "It looks really cool!" and "This is my first time riding the "CARBON WRAP," and the EPS foam makes the paddle light and fast. My next board will definitely be the "CARBON WRAP!" Nishii set up the MR TWIN+Stub on the RNF-REDUX and did some light surfing. Mayhem said that if you ride the RNF-REDUX , you should try this combination first, and it gave me great surfing. Fins are really important. The waves at yesterday's test ride were weak and small, so everyone was able to understand that they need to change their board to suit the wave conditions better. Several people immediately ordered boards on site. I'll send it to you right away! Thank you!
Learn moreMason Ho talks about the LOST "VOODOO CHILD" board in this video!
This is "Voodoo Child" I wanted a board like the ones they used in contests in the 80s. I took it over to the present day To be able to walk from nose to tail Clever, attractive and cool beak nose No one has a design like this The beak design is barely visible. The next big feature is the thickness of the board center. This part has sufficient buoyancy. The concave design is so good that it shoots like a floatplane when you start paddling. I love the concave on this bottom My dad (Michael Ho) always loved riding concaves like this, and I saw him do it when I was a kid. So I knew this was the best concave design. There are gently wavy bumps on the tail of the deck. It's not a mistake, this is good It's called a double concave deck It fits naturally to the soles of your feet, It helps with the grip This is a great design especially for me as I don't use a deck pad. It fits snugly to your feet and grips from the moment you take off. The smoothly trimmed tail design is also great. I haven't seen such an old school tail design lately. This part is thin, and it continues up to here, Everyone will love it These old school designs are not drastic, It's actually very calculated. My regular shortboard is 5'9", but this Voodoo Child is 5'8", so it's more for small waves. From super small waves to 6 feet, 8 feet, can you ride even 12 feet on the wave face? Now you can catch waves even from the second reef at Pipe. I actually rode a 10-foot Sunset. That said, Voodoo Child is great, especially in small waves. If you want to surf well, you don't have to be a superhero. It's easier to ride the waves with a board like the Voodoo Child . https://vimeo.com/211060177

Kolohe Andino recently celebrated his 23rd birthday. He was ranked 5th in the WSL rankings last year, and is expected to climb even higher this year. I think it's about time we achieved the championship that we have yet to achieve. He's been famous since he was a little kid, but he's still only 23, so he still has plenty of time to compete in the WSL. Bruce Irons, who has only been on LOST recently The big barrel waves are still some of the best in the world, and the tube riding is excellent. There were so many pink boards by Carissa Moore, which you saw the other day. There was also the Carbon Wrap V3-Stealth ! The traction pad attached to the RNF-REDUX CARBON WRAP is the new LOST traction pad. This is the POCKET ROCKET model. It will be available at Love Surf in May! Kolohe Andino is riding a WHIPLASH, which is 6'1" long. He's been riding a lot of 5'11" boards lately, so this 6'1" is more for bigger waves. Sho Kobayashi before starting a rail turn on the Driver model. The Driver is a classic model among LOST's high-performance surfboards, and is still ridden by team riders today! Please keep that in mind. Kolohe Andino putting traction pads on his new board Until now, I've been using Astrodeck models, but since 2017, I've been using my own FCS model. This FCS Kolohe model hasn't been released yet, but I'll let you know when it arrives at Love Surf! Sho Kobayashi, riding on the PUDDLE-FISH-JP , is showing off his fins. This MR STB fin is the perfect match, so if you're riding the ``PUDDLE-FISH-JP'', be sure to get this fin! It's a strange photo. The model is "RNF-REDUX" POLYESTER. Maria Manuel's boards. She prefers EPS foam boards, so of course there's CARBON WRAP ! This is a self-painted board by a European LOST women's team rider named Maudle Carr. She's also an artist. @maudlecar Noah Beschen surfs Pipe in the spring He is currently 16 years old. This is the board that Noah Beschen had art painted on for him to ride in Tahiti. The beautiful and bright colors seem to match the colors of the Tahitian waves! Airbrushed colors applied to channel 2 of "PUDDLE FISH." Please use this as a reference if you are planning to place a custom order. This photo was taken when Matt Biolos and Corey Lopez were developing the RNF-REDUX , comparing it to Corey's RNF from 20 years ago.

Luvsurf TV:LOST “VOODOO CHILD” POLYESTER Masato Yukawa Masato Yukawa Rider: Masato Yukawa Board used: LOST "VOODOO CHILD" POLYESTER FILM & EDIT: Michal Van Mierlo Next month, in April, stock boards will start arriving one after another. Among them, the model that is currently receiving rave reviews from LOST team riders is the "VOODOO CHILD." It was amazing from the first round, even with "Masato" who I got in California the other day! He praised it highly, saying, "This is a magic board!" This board was not the model that Masato wanted, Mayhem modified one of the bikes that had been ordered and designated a new model for Masato to ride. Its distinctive appearance is characterized by a beak-like nose tip called a beak nose. This is a noteworthy model that was researched and developed as Mason Ho's signature model. It's a high performance board, but it's also designed to be a board that free surfers like Mason and Masato would prefer. The rocker curve is gentle, making it easy to pick up speed, and the tail has a bump in it, The straight line of the squash tail narrows sharply from the bump to the tail end. This board allows for twisting turns. If you want a high performance board that the LOST team highly recommends, be sure to try this one out! https://vimeo.com/210083940
